Darby is cast as Arthur Tillbrook, the head of the Hartford Park household and heir to a substantial cheese empire. Arthur, despite his privileged background, sees himself as a down-to-earth character and will go to great lengths to assert his manliness. This role marks Darby's second period comedy, following his previous stint in 'Our Flag Means Death.'
The pilot is being written and executive produced by Tara Hernandez, with Warner Bros. Television serving as the studio. 'Regency' is one of two pilots CBS is considering, alongside a vampire comedy titled 'Eternally Yours.'
